About the Item

A grouping of three French painted stone storks from Alsace from the early 20th century, mounted on iron bases and sold individually. Discover the charm of Alsace with this captivating grouping of three French painted stone storks, each a symbol of this picturesque region, known for welcoming these majestic birds every spring. Originating from an Alsatian zoo in the early 20th century, these storks have been thoughtfully mounted on iron bases, designed to mimic their slender legs, suggesting they were once anchored into the ground for display. Crafted in the 1920s, each stork is rendered with meticulous detail, from their elegant poses to the vibrant paint that brings their features to life. Standing at varying heights from 22" to 35" and widths from 8" to 10.5", with the dimensions provided for the tallest among them, these stone sculptures offer a range of sizes to fit different spaces and settings in your home. Priced and sold individually at $985 each, these highly decorative storks are not just pieces of art but also emblems of Alsace's cultural heritage. Whether displayed in a garden, on a patio, or within a sunlit conservatory, they add a touch of whimsy and nostalgia. Perfect for those looking to infuse their spaces with the spirit of Alsace or simply seeking a unique and storied element for their home decor, these French painted stone storks promise to enchant and inspire. Additional storks are available, inviting the opportunity to create a more extensive collection within your home.
